Now that it is known to the public, I wonder what the current code name is for a lost nuclear weapon?
I think it is the same. Individual Broken Arrows incidents may have or still are classified but not the term in general. I remember checking out a book from the library that was full of military info. It was like an info-graphic; navys of the world, armies, etc. One page was dedicated to nuclear accidents and listed the terms broken spear and broken arrow
